Booking Guests​

​

​

The Basics​

​

​

Give & Take.

​

Make sure to offer something to prospective guests, make it feel like you are offering them something rather than just asking them to do something for you.

​

​

Stay pro-active.​

​

There are a number of actionable steps you can take each day to reach out to guests and maximise your chances of booking them. We will go through some of those steps here.​

​

​

Online networking tools can be invaluable.​

​

Rather than just relying on social media there are networking sites specifically designed to connect podcasters.

​

Don't Forget...​

​​

• Be pro-active and don't wait for guests to come to you;

​

• Never be afraid to reach out, but make sure messages are personal and not spammed out to dozens of people at a time;

​

• Online networking and social media sites are no brainers for connecting with new people.
